CLOSURES AN OPEN AND SHUT CASE The two basic types of bearing closures are shields and seals, both of which may be ordered as integral components of deep groove beahgs. (Ihe angular contact bearing design is not easily adaptable to integral closures.) All closures serve the same purposes with varying effectiveness. They exclude contamination, contain lubricants and protect the bearing from internal damage during handling. Closures are attached to the outer ring. If they contact the inner ring, they are seals. If they clear the inner ring, they are shields. Seals and shields used in Barden ABEC 7 bearings are designed so that the stringent precision tolerances are not afTected by the closures. They are available in large precision spindle and turbine bearings as well as in Barden miniature and instrument bearings. Most deep groove bearings are available with a closure on one or both sides. Occasionally, a bearing size and cage configuration will accommodate only one closure.

SELECTION OF CLOSURES Determining the proper closure for an application involves a trade06 usually balancin sealing efficiency against speed capability and bearing torque. Shielfs do not raise bearing torque or limit speeds, but they have low sealing efficiency. Seals rate high in bearing protection, but they impose varying reshictions on operating speed and can result in increased torque and temperature. Another consideration in closure selection is air flow through the bearing, which is detrimental because it carries contamination into the bearing and dries out the lubricant. Seals should be used if air flow is present.

BARDEN DEVELOPMENTS IN EFFECTIVE CLOSURES Shields are precision-stamped of stainless steel in a diibed shape to provide rigidity, resistance to reso nant vibration and maximum lubricant space within the bearing. Inner ring notches are provided where space permits, to present a difficult entry path for contaminants. FlexealN is a Bardendeveloped seal with a layer of fiber bonded to a precision aluminum stamping. The fiber is prelubricated to produce extremely low friction at the ground sealing notch. This low friction allows Flexed equipped bearings to operate at speeds up to 600,000 dN. Maximum temperature is 300'F continuously, 350'F intermittently. h e a l N is a composite seal consisting of molded

rubber with a metal stiffener. It offers optimum sealing and is designed to contact the inner ring intimately under all l o a d i i conditions. The inner ring seal riding sudaces are ground for better sealing, lower tor ue and longer life. Maximum N (bearing bore in mm X RPM) with Barseals is 180,000; temperature range is -30'F to 225%

BEARING CAGES

Most bearing assemblies include a cage to maintain uniform ball s ac'ig, reduce torque and lessen heat buildu Barden deep groove and angu& con. tact bearings are available with sever Merent types of cages to slut a variety of applications.

P'

FOR DEEP GROOVE BEARINGS The principal cage designs for our deep groove bearings are snapln types Q TA, TMT and TB; symmemcal types P, W and T.Type W is a low torque cage developed by Barden, available in many miniature and instnunent sizes. This twopiece ribbon cage is loosely clinched to prevent cage windup (a tory-increasing drawbadc of some cage designs) in sensitive low torque app icauons. Ribbon cages P and W are used at moderate speeds and are particularly suited for bearings with grease lubrication and seals or shields. For higher speeds, Barden offers the onepiece phenol~csnap-in type TA cage in smaller bearing sizes and the two-piece riveted phenolic, aluminum-reinforcedT cage for larger sizes. The aluminum reinforcement, a Barden first, provides additional strength and permits use of this high-speed cage in most standard width sealed or shielded bearings.

FOR ANGULAR CONTACT BEARINGS In Barden angular contact bearings, the standard cages, types B and H, are machined phenolic with highspeed capability. These cages are outer ring landguided, which allows lubricant access to the most deslred point - the inner ring ball contact area. Centrifugal force carries lubricant outward during operation to reach the other areas of need. The H-type phenolic cage bas a grooved inner surface to hold extra lubricant. From the grooves, lubricant can migrate to critical bearing contact surfaces. In separable type bearings, the B-type cage has stepped or conical podcets to hold the balls in

ABC'S OF ABEC CLASSES Precision ball bearings are manufactured to tolerance standards set by the Annular Bearing Engineen Committee (ABEC) of the American Bearing Manufacturen Association (ABMA). These standards have been accepted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and conform essentia!ly with standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

ABEC PARAMETERS ABEC standards define tolerances for several major beating dimensions and characteristics, divided into mounting dimensions (bore, O.D. and width) and bearing geometry (see illustration). The geometric tolerances apply to both inner and outer rings. It is important to realize that ABEC standards do not address many other factors which affect bearing performance and life, indudmg: Materials Ball complement - number, size and precision (innerring illustrated) Raceway curvature, roundness and finish Variation Radial play or contact angle (exaggerated) Cage design Lubricant

.

.

ABEC PRECISION CLASSES General-purpose, splndle slze ball bearings are manufactured to precision classes ABEC 1, ABEC 5, ABEC 7 and ABEC 9. The ascending numbers indicate stricter tolerances and additional requirements. All Barden spindle bearlngs meet ABEC 9. Miniature and instnunent bearings are produced in comparable classes, with added refinements designated by suffixes: ABEC 3, ABEC 5P, ABEC 7P,ABEC 9P,ABEC 5T and ABEC 7T. Barden hearings in this categoly are made to ABEC 7P or better. Barden torque tube and extra-thin series bearings meet ABEC 5T or 71: All bearing manufacturers can furnish ABMA tolerance data for ABEC classes. In addition, Barden can indicate those characteristis of Barden bearings which are consistently held to closer tolerances than ABEC standards.

BARDEN PRECISION BEARINGS

ABEC tolerance classes are useful in bearing selection. By specifying ABEC 7, for example, the design engineer is able to pinpoint a standardized level of beanng precision. However, ABEC classes are not all-inclusive in defining bearing precision. Bearing performance and life can be affected by factors other than ABEC c o n t d e d characteristics.

FUNCTIONAL TESTING ABEC tolerance classes contain no provisions for functional testing of an assembled bearing, yet it can be extremely important. Barden applies selfestablished standards to ensure that we deliver quiet, smooth-running bearings that d perform well in specific a plications. Bearing-generated vibration is checf ed by using either the Barden developed Smoothrato? or the Bendix Andemmete?. Bearing running toraue is measured bv various instruments such as the Barden ~0'11dnte~r;or. s k i n torque can hso be measured on special ages Nonrepedtive runout of a tearing - a function of race lobing, ball iiameter variatibn and cleanliness - is g g i d on proprietary Barden initruments.

BEARING DESIGN ABEC classes do not address bearing desii, yet the ball complement, shoulder heights, cage design and material quality can mean the difference between success and failure in bearing applications.

COMPONENT MLERMCES Rings. There are several aspects of inner and outer rings not covered by ABEC standards, induding raceway roundness, cross race radius form and raceway finish. Barden bas imposed its own criteria and uses several means m check roundness and cross race radius for compliance. DFTC (deviation from true circularity) measurements are made and graphically depicted by concentric circles enclosing the low and high points ofraceway deviation.

drId0. (change in radius with a change in circumferential location) measurements are made to define lobing or waviness that could generate noise and vibration in an operating bearing. Cross race characteristics. Radius form, waviness and surface finish are closely monitored by Barden, using laser and computer technology. With equipment unique in the industry, cross race traces are made for comparison with Barden standards. Balls.

WHEN AND HOW Preloading is the removal of internal clearance in a bearing by applying a permanent thrust load t o it. Preloading is used to: Eliminate radial and axial play. Increase system rigidity. Reduce nonrepetitive runout. Limit the difference in contact angle between inner and outer rings at very high speed. Prevent ball slddding under very high acceleration. Bearings should be minimally preloaded to avoid excessive heat generation which reduces speed capability and bearing life. There are three basic methods of preloadiig, involving springs, axial adjustments or duplex bearings.

SPRING PREWMlNG This is often the s~mplestmethod and should be considered first. Spring preloading provides a more constant preload because it is less sensitive to diirential expansion and accommodates minor misalignment better. Many types of springs may be used, among them coil springs and belleville, wave or finger spring washers. Usually the spring is a plied to the nonrotating part of t i e bearing - typically the outer ring. This ring must have a slip fit in the housing.

AXIAL ADJUSTMENT Threaded members, shims and spacers are typical means of providing b e d preloads through axial adjustment. This technique requires great care and accuracy to avoid excessive preloading, which might occur initially through overloading during setup or during operation due to thermal expansion. Precision lap ed shims are usually preferable to threaded members, because helical threa s can lead to misalignment.

D U P W BEARINGS Duplex bearings are produced at the factory by relieving selected inner or outer ring faces of a matched pair of bearings. The amount of relief on each face is called the preload offset. When the bearings are clamped together, the offset faces meet, establislung a preload. Duplex bearings are usually speedlimited due to heat generated by this preload.

BARDEN PRECISION BEARINGS

DUPLEX BEARINGS

Duplex bearings are matched pairs of bearings with a built-in means of preloading. The inner or outer ring faces of these bearings have been selectively relieved a precise amount called the reload offset. When the bearings are clamped together during installation, e offset faces are brought into contact with each oiher, establishing a permanent preload in the bearing set. Duolexine is used to ereatlv increase radial and axial riiditv. Duolex bearings & wigstand bidrrectional thrust loads (DB andY~~'mo;nting) or heavy unidirectional thrust loads (DT mounting).

ti

DB MOUNTING (back-to-back) This configuration 1s suited for most applications having good alignment of bearing housings and shafts. It is also preferable where high moment rigidity is required, and where the shaft runs warmer than the housing. Inner ring abutting faces of DB duplex bearings are relieved. When they are mounted and the inner rings clamped together, the load lines (lines through points of ball contact) converge outside the bearings, resulting in increased moment rigidity.

DF MOUNTING (face-to-face) DF mounting is used in fewer applications, mainly where there is misalignment. Speedability is usually lower than for a DB pair. Outer ring abutting faces of DF duplex bearings are relieved. When the bearings are mounted and the outer rings c h p e d together, the load lines converge toward the bore.

DT MOUNTING (tandem) DT pairs offer greater capacity without increasing bearing size, through load sharing. They can counter heavy thrust loads from one direction, but they cannot take reveninrr loads as DB and DF pairs can. Inner and outer rings of DT pairs have equalized ofkets, creating parallel load lines. When mounted and preloaded by thrust forces, both bearings share the load equally.

-

BARDEN DUPLEX BEARINGS Most Barden angular contact duplex bearings are universally ground, for mounting either DB, DF or DT. They are available with light, medium and heavy preloads; values for each change with the bearing sue. For a given Barden duplex pair, bore and O.D. are matched within 0.0001",therefore, duplex sets should m t be separated or intermixed. High points of eccentricity are marked on both inner and outer rings. The high points should be aligned during assembly (inner to inner, outer to outer) to get a smoother, cooler and more accurate tunning spindle. Barden deep groove bearings are also available in duplex sets. They are not universally ground, but are hmished in specific DB, DF or DT conIiguradons. When closures are needed, they can be installed on the outer sides of duplexed Barden deep groove bearings.

OIL In selecting the proper lubricant for a precision bearing, one consideration is oil vs. g~ase.Grease lubrication is simpler, but there are times when oil is better. Instrument bearings with extremely low values of starting and running toque need only a minimal, one-time lubrication. Each bearing receives just a few milligrams of oil (a single drop or less). In machine tool spindles and other high-speed ap lications, oil is continuously supplied and provides cooling as well as lugrication, so that the bearings can run faster. The maximum dN rating (dN = bearing bore in mrn x RPMJ for greases is approximately 800,000, whereas oils can accommodate one million dN or higher.

OIL LUBRICATION SYSTEMS An oil-lubricated bearing usually requires a systems approach. The most common types of lubrication systems are: Bath. Oil is fed to the bearing from a built-in reservoir by w i b g , dripping or submerging the bearing wholly or partially in oil. Splash. From a built-in reservoir, oil is distributed by a high-speed rotating component pardally submerged in oil. Airloil mist M i e of air and oil is sprayed into and through the bearing from an external source. Excellent system for lubricating and cooling bearings operating at very high speeds under light loads. Jet. Oil is squirted into and tbrough the bearing from an external source. Excellent where loads are heavy, speeds and temperatures are high. Efficiently applied flow of oil both lubricates and cools.

OIL TYPES Oils used in bearings are of four general types, which are usually supplemented by additives to compensate for deficiencies or to provide special characteristics. Petroleum oils. Classified as naphthenic or parafftnic, depending on the uude oil source. Excellent generalpurpose oils at normal temperatures (-40 to 250'F). Additives are typically required to inhibit oxidation, foaming and and to improve viscositv index. .~olvmerization; . Diesters. Synthetic oils developed for applications requiring low torque at subzero starting temperatures and higher operating temperatures. Silicones. Synthetic compounds with a relatively constant v~scosityover their temperature range. Used for vety cold starting and low toque applications. Generally undesirable for high loads and speeds. FIuorocarbons. Synthetic oils for corrosive, reactive or high temperature (up to 550'F) environments. Nonsoluble in most solvents. Excellent oxidative stability, low volatil~ty.They provide poor protection against bearing corrosion.

OIL PROPERTIES Viwsity. Resistance to flow. Viscosity index. Rahng of viscosity changes at varying temperatures. Lubricity. Rating of sliding friction at boundary conditions of lubrication. Pour point Lowest temperature at which oil will pour (flow). Oxidation resistance. Raring ofan oil's resistance to oxidation caused by h i temperatures, presence of oxygen and catalytic metals (especially copper). Corrosion resistance. Rating of an oil's ability to protect bearing from corrosion. Hash point Temperature at which an oil gves off flammable vapors. Fi point Temperature at which an oil bums if ignited.

Grease is a semisolid lubricant consisting of an oil and a thidcening agent. Its prima7 advantage over oil is that bearings can be prelubricated with grease, eliminating the need for an external lubrication system. This grease is often adequate for the lie of the application. On the other hand, grease can be expected to increase the initial bearing torque and may exbibit a slightly higher running torque. There are dozens of bearing greases in current use; their characteristics vary widely to meet different application requirements.

SPEEDABILITY Speedability is expressed as a dN value, with dN being: dN = bearing bore in mm multiplied by RPM The greatest dN that greases can normally tolerate for continuous operation is approximately 800,000. This value is influenced by faaors such as type of grease, loads and temperahlres.

TEMPERATURE Most greases are l i t e d to a m m u m temperature of 300'F, some only to 250' or 200'. Spectally formulated hgh temperature greases can operate at 450', or 500'F for short periods. For all greases, life is severely penalized by operation near their temperature lunits.

CONSISTENCY (Stiffness) Stiffer, channeling type greases are required for high-speed applications to m i n i i e heat generation due to churning. Also, stiEer consistency greases are beneficial for applications with outer ring rotation where centrifugal force tends to sling grease out of the bearing, and those vertical axis applications (bearings installed horizontally) where gravity pulls grease away from its intended position.

COMBINATIONS OF FACTORS To maintain a normal grease life expectancy, adverse operating conditions must not be present in combination. Thus, at temperatures near the limits shown in the table, speed and load should be low. Or, at maximum speeds, temperature and load should be low. In certain applications, such combinations are unavoidable and tradeofi are necessary. For example, if speed and temperature are both high, loads must be low and lie will be short.

BARDEN PRECISION BEARINGS

SHAFT AND HOUSING FITS

Shaft and housiig mounting details are important factors in successful bearing applications. The tables below provide general guidelines for fits, but other application conditions or needs often make it necessary to vary the fits shown. Tighter fits on shafts and in housings are advisable where there is: A need to avoid mass center shift. Heavy radial loading. Vibration that could cause fretting and wear A need for heat transfer. Looser fitting practices are advisable when: There are axial clamping forces. Ease of assembly is important There must be axial movement to accommodate spring loading or thermal movements.

FITTING NOTES: 1. Before establishing tight interference fits, consider their effects on radial

internal clearance and bearing preloads (if present). Also realize that diitortions in shaft or housing geometry may be transferred to the bearings through tight fits. 2. Keep in mind that mounting fits may be substantially altered at operating temperatures due to differential expansion of components. 3. Diameter and squareness tolerances for shaft and housing mounting surfaces and shoulders should be similar to those for the bearing bore and O.D. The surface finish and hardness of mating components should be suitable for prolonged use, to avoid deterioration of fits during operation.

4. Where a more precise fit is desired, bearings can be obtained that are calibrated into narrower bore and O.D. tolerance groups. These can be matched to similarly calibrated shafts and housiigs to cut the fit tolerance range by 50% or more.

CAUTION: BEARINGS HANDLE WITH CARE The first rule for handling bearings is keep them clean. Consider every ldnd of foreign material - dust, moisture, fingeqhts, solvents, lint, duty grease to be abrasive, corrosive or othetwise destructive. All work spaces, tools, transport equipment, fixtures and mating parts should be clean also. The second rule is handle with care. Bearin should remain in their original pa&& m ~ e n e dy, d , ~ d for y instafation. All Barden boxes cany nomenclature for e beanngs mside, so there is no need to refer to the bearing itrelf for identification. And, since the full bearing number appears only on Barden packaging, it should always stay with the bearin2 , , Do not wash new bearings. Barden takes great care in e a m g its bearings and properly prelubricating them before packa g. All Barden bearings are demagnetized b e E e shipment. If there is any indication that they have become magnetized, which would attract metallic contaminants, pass the wrapped bearings through a demagnetize^ '

HANDLING GUIDELINES 1. Clean the work area; keep it clean.

2. Use clean, bun-free tools that are designed for the job. They should not be painted or chrome-plated.

3. Handle bearin s with clean hands. Use gloves or clean tweezers for miniature bearings.

$

4. Remove bearings from original

packaging immediately before using them. 5. Protect unwrapped bearings by keeping them covered at all dmes.

6. Assemble only clean, bun-free parts. Clean the interior of housings. 7. Use heat assembly (differential ~ a n s i o n or ) an arbor press for mterference fits. Never use a hammer or sharp blows. 8. Be sure bearing rings are started evenly on shafts or in housings, to pment cocking and distortion. 9. Apply force only to the ring beimg press-fitted. Never strike the outer ring, for example, to force the inner ring onto a shaft, or brinelling could result and cause high torque or noisy operation. 10. Use bearingquality lubricants; keep them clean during application and covered between uses.

11. When removing bearings, clean all surrounding surfaces first. Isolate used bearings and inspect them carefully before reuse. These common sense mles will help rotect your investment in precision bearings and the even greater value of e rotanng components they serve.

e

BARDEN PRECISION BEARINGS

Design selections between deep groove and angular contact precision bearings depend primarily upon application characteristicssuch as magnitude and direction of loading, operating speed and conditions, lubrication, and requirements for accuracy and rigidity.

DEEPGROOVE Deep groove ball bearings have full shoulders on both sides of the raceways of the inner and outer rings. They can accept radial loads, thrust loads in either direction, or a combination of loads. The full shoulders and the cages used in deep oove bearings make them suitable for the addition of closures (seals or shiel ) to exclude contaminants and/or retain lubricants. Besides simgle deep groove bearings with closures, Barden also offers duplex pairs with seals or shields on the outboard faces. Deep groove bearings are available in many siies, with a variety of cage types - usually two-piece ribbon or one iece snap-in cages. Their versatility makes deep groove bearings the most wi ely used type.

tif:

B

ANGULAR COWTACT Angular contact bearings have one ring shoulder partially or totally removed. This allows a larger ball complement than found in comparable deep groove bearings, hence a greater load capacity. Speed capability is also greater. The angular contact bearing design accepts one-piece cages and a wide variety of cage materials and designs. Thus, cages can be selected specifically for high speeds. Standard Barden angular contact bearings have a nominal contact angle (angle between the ball-races contact l i e and a plane through the ball centers) of either 15' or 25'. Barden ball screw support bearings have a contact angle of 65'; the higher contact angle offers greater axial rigidity. Angular contact bearings support thrust loads or combinations of radial and thrust loading. They cannot accept radial loads only - a thrust load of sufficient magnitude must be present An individual angular contact bearing can be thrust-loaded in only one direction; this load may be in the form of a working load or a reload. Angular contact bearings are most commonly used in preloaded uplex sets, either back-to-back (DB) or face-to-face (DF) so they can support thrust loads in both dictions. Separable and nonseparable types are available within the category of angular contact bearings. In a separable bearing (Barden B type), the cage holds the balls in place so that the outer ring assembly (with cage and balls) can be separated from the inner ring. Separable bearings are useful where bearings must be installed in blind holes or where press fits are required, both on the shaft and in the housing. The separable feature also permits dynamic balancing of a rotating compo nent with inner ring in place, apart from the outer ring and housing.
